weeping cherry (tree)
This time, we’re introducing a wall decoration idea featuring weeping cherry blossoms that evokes the arrival of spring.
In recent years, cherry blossoms have been blooming earlier, and in some areas they start flowering in late March.
Among cherry trees commonly seen in parks, it’s said that weeping cherry blossoms bloom a bit earlier than the Somei Yoshino variety.
To make the petals, first crumple origami paper by hand into a ball, then unfold it.
This gives the petals a three-dimensional look and a delicate, fluttering feel.
Carefully attach each petal to the paper branches one by one.
Since this activity involves lots of hand and fingertip movement, it may also offer brain-training benefits for older adults.
Displaying lanterns and dango alongside the finished weeping cherry blossoms can create a piece that makes people feel like they’re enjoying a hanami (cherry-blossom viewing).
Easy Hina decorations with 100-yen shop materialsNEW!
You can make cute Hina decorations using familiar items.
For example, a round box that holds cheese.
If you remove the bottom part, you’ll get a ring.
You can use that to make a Hina display.
Attach pink masking tape to the ring and make holes with an awl.
Thread yarn alone, or yarn with beads, through the ring using a yarn darning needle.
Make the dolls with round stickers, and you’re done.
Using transparent origami paper also looks cute.
How about making them while chatting with seniors about memories of Hina Matsuri?
Handmade Hina decorations made of feltNEW!
Felt crafts have a soft, fluffy touch that gives a sense of warmth.
Hina decorations made from felt would suit the atmosphere of the Peach Festival.
You can also use chirimen fabric to make the Emperor and Empress dolls.
Make two bases as well, and add peach blossoms made of felt or chirimen fabric.
If you attach a string, you can hang it on the wall, or you can paste it onto a backing board.
Using artificial flowers—like the ones sold at 100-yen shops—for the blossoms would also result in a lovely piece.
Enjoy creating it while chatting with seniors and having fun arranging the design.
Four-leaf clover bookmarkNEW!
As March arrives, there are more warm days, and it’s a time when you often see clovers in parks and plazas.
Making clovers with origami can help older adults feel the spring season, too.
A four-leaf clover made from a single sheet of origami paper can also be used as a bookmark.
You can slip it into a book you’re reading or hook it on a page.
Some steps are a bit complex, so please support older adults as needed while making it together.
The overall shape is a heart, which is another cute point.
Three-dimensional wall-mounted Hina doll displayNEW!
The three-dimensional wall-hanging Hina doll decoration is an origami piece that, while adorably stylized, still conveys the essence of traditional Hina dolls.
You cut and glue the origami paper for each part to create the faces and kimonos.
A key point is shaping the sleeves into rings to give them a soft, voluminous finish.
By mounting the pieces on construction paper, you can hang the work directly on the wall, adding festive depth and color to the space as a seasonal decoration.
With thoughtful choices of expressions and colors, the impression changes, making it a subtle yet striking origami idea you can enjoy as a work with presence.
Hina decorations made of feltNEW!
This Hina doll decoration made of felt features gently swaying ornaments as its highlight.
By using plum blossoms and traditional Japanese-patterned fabrics, it’s likely to be a piece that will delight elderly people.
Draw a semicircle on copy paper or similar using a compass to create a fan shape.
Cut out thick paper, felt, and fabric to match this pattern to make a backing, then finish it with yarn (a type of cord).
Finally, add decorations such as flowers made from felt and fabric, and attach the hanging, swaying ornaments.
It’s a Hina Matsuri decoration that brightens up a space just by being displayed—give it a try!
Washi-Modern Hina Dolls with Lace PaperNEW!
This is a perfect idea for Hinamatsuri! First, cut a sheet of patterned origami paper and a doily in half, then fold both sides inward like a kimono.
Slip the folded doily inside the origami so the lace peeks out from the kimono for extra cuteness.
Once you decide on the placement, glue it down firmly and add the face parts and accessories.
Next, color the backing paper, and stamp around the border with a dauber or a balloon to make it festive.
Finally, attach the hina dolls, and your handmade, modern-Japanese Hinamatsuri decoration is complete.
Its vibrant colors will instantly bring a spring feel to your room, and the making process is fun, too.
